A quantitative Lewis acidity/basicity scale toward boron-centered Lewis acids has been developed based on a set of 90 experimental equilibrium constants for the reactions of triarylboranes with various O-, N-, S-, and P-centered Lewis bases in dichloromethane at 20 °C. Analysis with the linear free energy relationship log KB=LAB+LBB allows equilibrium constants, KB, to be calculated for any type of borane/Lewis base combination through the sum of two descriptors, one for Lewis acidity (LAB) and one for Lewis basicity (LBB). The resulting Lewis acidity/basicity scale is independent of fixed reference acids/bases and valid for various types of trivalent boron-centered Lewis acids. It is demonstrated that the newly developed Lewis acidity/basicity scale is easily extendable through linear relationships with quantum-chemically calculated or common physical–organic descriptors and known thermodynamic data (ΔH (Formula presented.)). Furthermore, this experimental platform can be utilized for the rational development of borane-catalyzed reactions.

We herein explore whether tris(aryl)borane Lewis acids are capable of cleaving H2 outside of the usual Lewis acid/base chemistry described by the concept of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). Instead of a Lewis base we use a chemical reductant to generate stable radical anions of two highly hindered boranes: tris(3,5-dinitromesityl)borane and tris(mesityl)borane. NMR spectroscopic characterization reveals that the corresponding borane radical anions activate (cleave) dihydrogen, whilst EPR spectroscopic characterization, supported by computational analysis, reveals the intermediates along the hydrogen activation pathway. This radical-based, redox pathway involves the homolytic cleavage of H2, in contrast to conventional models of FLP chemistry, which invoke a heterolytic cleavage pathway. This represents a new mode of chemical reactivity for hydrogen activation by borane Lewis acids.

A comparative study of base-free arylcopper reagents for the transfer of aryl groups to boron halides

, p. 134 - 142 (2007/10/03)
A comparative study on the reactivity and selectivity of arylcopper species in reactions with boron halides was performed. Mesitylcopper reacts with BX3 (X=Cl, Br) in toluene at low temperature under highly selective formation of the monosubstituted boranes MesBX2. The dimesitylboranes Mes2BX are gradually formed with a twofold excess of the organocopper reagent at elevated temperature. In contrast, pentafluorophenylcopper shows a tendency for formation of B(C6F5) 3 in reactions with BX3 irrespective of the stoichiometry used, suggesting a strong impact of electronic factors on the selectivity of the aryl transfer reaction. New procedures for the synthesis of the pentafluorophenylboron halides C6 F5BX2 (X=Cl: 57%; X=Br: 62%) and of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (80%) and related mixed-substituted triarylboranes from the base-free isolable pentafluorophenylcopper precursor have been developed.
